The carboxyl group of the starting compounds (VI) of this reaction may be used as a salt form with alkali me-tals, organic amines such as sodium, potassium, triethylamine, etc., or as an ester form which can be easily converted into free carboxyl group by mild treatment with an acid or alkali, or by reduction, the ester being exemplified by e.g. wi-th ~-methyl-sulfonylethyl, trimethylsilyl, dimethylsilenyl, benzhydryl, ~ trichloroethyl, phenacyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, methoxymethyl, etc. As the reactive derivatives of the other starting compounds (V), there may be employed acid halide, acid anhydride, mixed acid anhydride, cyclic carboxy-anhydride, active amide, ester, etc., thereof.
This reaction can be conducted advanta~eously and smoothly in the presence of a solvent. As said solvent, use may be made of the common solvents and their mixtures unless such solvents do not interfere with the present reaction. There may be mentioned, therefore, such solvents as water, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetonitrile, chloroform, dichloro-methane, dichloroethylene, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, etc- This reaction may proceed more advantageously when in the solvent there is added a base such as pyridine, triethylamine, N,N-dimethylaniline, sodium hydrogen carbonate, etc.

The quantity of the base to be added is 100-~00 ~, desirably 100-c'OO /0 of that of the starting compounds (V). While the reaction temperature is virtually optional~ the reaction usu~lly is carried out under cooling or at room tempera-ture The reaction is generally completed within sever~l minutes to several hours.
If necessary, thus obtained compounds are subjec-ted to removal of the proteetive group and/or conversion of the convertible group~ The removal of the proteetive group of amino group may be conducted, for example, by acid trea-tment for t-buto~-ycarbonyl, ete., by a trea-tment with zine and an acid for P,'-', J ~-triehloroethoxycarbonyl~ e-tcO by catalytie reduction for p--nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, etc The protective groups of hydroxyl group are removed, for example, by potas-sium hydrogen carbonate in aqueous methanol for formyl or trifluoroacetyl, etc., by diluted hydrochloric aeid treat-ment, for tetrahydropyrclnyl~ etc., by zine and an aeid treat-men-t for ~"'"~-triehloroethoxyearbonyl, e-tc The es-ter residues of the earboxylie aeids are removed, for ex~mple, by aeid treatment :~`OI` ben~hyclryl, p-methoxybenzyl, etc., by alkali treatment for ~-methylsulfonylethyl, ete., by aqueous treat~ent for trimethylsilyl, dimethylsilenyl, etc., by zinc-an aeid tre~tment for ~ -trichloroethyl eteO, by redue-tion for p-nitrobenzyl, ete The methylthio or methyl-seleno group e-tc. may be eonverted into methoxy group by e.g~ reacting methanol iIl the presence of metal compounds including silver, mercury, leaci, thallium, etc. The removal of the protective ~roups or the conversion of the groups 8~
may be performed at the same time if possible, or any of them may be removed or converted in accordance with -the sort of the groups and/or the reaction condition of the next step.
While the starting carboxylic acids (V) may occur as D- and L-isomers with respect to the ~-carbon, whichever of these isomers, as well as their mixture, can be successfully employed for the purposes of this invention.
